Intel is planning to withdraw from the television market, as the company has declared. Intel’s Digital Home Group is going to be further effort to focus on more lucrative markets, such as smartphones, tablets and ultrabooks.
Intel pulls himself out of the tv market back because it’s not really a foot on the ground has managed to get. “This is a business decision,” says Claudine ” Monteban, spokeswoman of Intel, compared to Bloomberg. Intel got in 2010 in the market, as ceo Paul Otellini opportunities saw for the marketing of the Intel-chips in televisions.
Intel had for its entrance into the tv market, a covenant with Google. That company brought the end of 2010 the first version of Google TV, an operating system for tvs based on Android, from. For Google TV to be able to run, it was a motherboard which is equipped with an Intel Atom CE4100-soc on the basis of a 45nm-Atom-core 1.2 GHz clocked.
Sony brought in the United States on the basis of Google TV, a tv line, while Logitech Google TV media player, developed. Other manufacturers were, however, the boat. Panasonic found the solution with the Intel-chip too expensive, while Samsung, for example, to know gave their own socs based on the ARM architecture to want to use it in combination with Google TV. Also Toshiba, LG and Sharp did not participate in the Google TV adventure. Google finally had the requirement for the use of an Intel chip fall and said Google TV is also suitable for the ARM architecture.
It is not known what impact the withdrawal of Intel for Google TV. The expectation was that Google perhaps a new version would introduce at CES 2012 in January, but the withdrawal of Intel can be a line through the account.
